Translation dedicated to my friend Richard Bellia who is always
giving me good news... thanks, bud.

Les petits enfants qui tombent du balcon
The little kids that fall off the balcony
Toute leur enfance défile dans leurs yeux
Their entire childhood flashes before their eyes
Elle est courte et ils s'ennuient même un peu
It is short and they're even bored a little
Alors ils regardent ce qui se passe autour d'eux
So they watch what's happening around them

Ils s'échappent et volent devant les fenêtres
They escape and fly in front of windows
Ils disent bonjour à tous les locataires
They say hello to all the renters
On les invite à venir prendre un verre
Someone invites them in to have a drink
Ils disent d'accord
They say all right

Mais ils ne restent qu'un instant ..
But they only stay a minute ...
